Cut him a slack please, guys. When you get older, you often times become more mild on the one hand, yet may sound rather brisk on the other hand as it feels like having no time for formality and diplomacy while you hand over the core of a matter, or what you think it to be. After Stephen posted his Ferrer for sale, I sent an e-mail to Mr. Blackshear pointing to it, thinking that it might be of interest to him. Yet, it appears not worth to him to just say thank you. Whatever, I don´t mind, have on the other hand experienced him giving time and attention to conversations we had before. And maybe he should be allowed to be sounding like paternalizing. Or maybe he sounds like it, because of perceiving certain minuteness that you possibly don´t. To me for certain it appears as if he is judging extremely distinguished. You know, sort of like the cracks in audio engineering who can meticulously tell already at the setup what the niceties at mix and master will be. Thelike knowledge must be what goes into his guitars, which recordings you could be taking a close ( and unbiased, if needed ) listening to. The guitars he builds are really something, covering pretty all desirable aspects in a masterly way. The high prices for these s are not achieved by marketing hoax. What his expertise is concerned: You don´t expect yourself to not further mature and improve over time, do you. And he apparently has a lot of crafting experience gathered over decades with very dedicated and mused guitar building. You might be generous to grant him some credit as grand senor, even if his comments could be coming accross like assuming. - I besides suspect holes in the sides too. Admittedly however, im my personal case, exactly in the way you assume, Stephen. For stubborn bias. To me it subjectively appears like some gimmick; sort of like painting over a Caravaggio, just for to try out something new. And that without having actually checked it out, that´s right. Seems, one just can´t be linear all the way through, but try to. Ruphus
